Boarding for Rural & Regional Families

Home / Boarding / Regional & Rural Families
Assumption College’s boarding community was established to provide Catholic families in remote and regional areas with a high-quality boarding and educational experience. This founding commitment remains at the heart of everything we do today. Set on nearly 100 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in Kilmore, just 45 minutes north of Melbourne, our boarding students enjoy the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and city convenience. It’s a place where the charm of country living meets the opportunities of urban life.

Travelling to Kilmore

Assumption College is ideally located for families across Greater Melbourne, Regional Victoria, and Southern New South Wales. The College is easily accessible via the Northern Highway, making it a convenient drive for families.

For those travelling from interstate, Melbourne Domestic Airport is within close proximity, ensuring a smooth journey to and from the College.

Public Transport Options

Kilmore is well-connected by public transport, making it easy for students and families to travel. The V/Line Melbourne-Seymour Line stops at Kilmore East station, providing a direct link to the College.

Once in Kilmore, the Kilmore Town Service Link Bus simplifies navigation around the township, ensuring students can move around with ease. For planning your journey, Transport Victoria’s online Journey Planner is a helpful resource.

Travelling Home

Home travel arrangements are made in consultation with our Boarding Supervisors to ensure a seamless experience for students. While parents or carers are responsible for booking public transport and airfares, the College offers support wherever possible.

For Exeats and Term Breaks, Assumption College assists with transporting boarders to their departure points at the appropriate times, ensuring students can travel home safely and efficiently.
